On June 21, the Louisiana
legislature passed HB 1605, which greatly liberalizes the definition of "political
party". The bill defines "party" to be a group that has registration membership
of 1,000, or which polled 5% of the vote in the last presidential election
for president, or which polled 5% for any statewide race in the last election
for statewide state office.

The old law says a qualified
party is one with registration of 5% of the state total, or one that polled
5% for president in the last election. Under the old law, only the Democratic
and Republican Parties are qualified. The 5% registration standard requires
about 140,000 registrations.

Assuming Governor Kathleen
Blanco signs the bill, it will go into effect January 1, 2005. The Green,
Libertarian and Reform Parties are sure to qualify under the registration
option. New parties must pay a $1,000 fee.

Only parties with registration
of 5% will elect party officers in a primary; small qualified parties will
choose them by convention. All parties will qualify for a presidential primary.

Candidate ballot access
is easy in Louisiana. A fairly modest fee puts anyone on the ballot. However,
under existing law, unless the candidate is a member of a qualified party,
or unless the candidate is running for president, he or she gets no party
label on the ballot. Therefore, parties are handicapped when they arenít recognized,
since their candidates (except for president) have no label.

The only qualified
parties in the last eighty-five years in Louisiana have been: (1) States Rights
Party, 1956-1960; (2) American Party, 1968-1972; (3) Prudence, Actions, Results
1992-1996; and (4) Reform 1996-2000. The "Prudence, Action, Results" Party
was created in 1992 because Ross Perot used that label and he polled over
5% for president.

Under HB 1605, independent
candidates will have "no-party candidate" printed on the ballot next to their
names. The Coalition for Free & Open Elections (COFOE) had sponsored a
lawsuit to overturn the old law, at least relative to independent candidates.
The case, Rosenthal v McKeithen, has been pending since 2000 and still
hadnít had a hearing, but the lawsuit will now be moot, assuming the Governor
signs the bill.

Except for Michigan in
2002, Louisiana is the only state to have voluntarily eased the definition
of "party" since 1999. The years 2000-2004 have been bleak for legislative
help for minor parties. There have been improvements since 2000, but they
have mostly come about by lawsuits, not improvements by state legislators.

ALABAMA
INNOVATION

On June 7, the Alabama
Secretary of State and the Alabama Attorney General agreed to let three different
independent presidential candidates use the same petition. With a single signature,
a voter can help Ralph Nader, Michael Badnarik, and David Cobb get on the
ballot as independent presidential candidates this year. 5,000 signatures
are required for any independent presidential candidate to get on the Alabama
ballot.

Since the law lets voters
sign for multiple independent presidential candidates, no one in Alabama state
government could find any reason to disallow the use of a single petition
to qualify all three candidates. As most readers already know, Nader is a
true independent candidate; Badnarik is the Libertarian nominee; Cobb may
be the Green nominee. Supporters of all three candidates are cooperating to
circulate this petition. The petition makes it clear to potential signers
that, by their signature, they are assisting three different candidates.

FOUR
CALIFORNIA BILLS ADVANCE

Party rights:
on June 21, the Senate passed SCA 18, which says that if a political party
participates in a primary election, it has a right to have its nominee on
the general election ballot. Since it is a constitutional amendment, the voters
will vote on it in November (assuming it passes the Assembly soon). If it
gets more votes than the "Voter Choice Open Primary", and they both pass,
the measure with the higher vote totals wins. See the April 1 B.A.N. for
a description of the "Voter Choice" initiative.

Primary date:
on June 15, the Assembly Elections Committee passed SB 1730. The bill moves
all primaries, even the presidential primary, from March to June. If the bill
passes, the deadline to qualify a new party will automatically be eased by
three months.

Election reform:
on June 16, Senate Elections Committee passed SCA 14, by Senator John Vasconcellos.
It includes a vast array of election changes: public funding of campaigns;
instant-runoff voting; redistricting reform; a larger legislature; a relaxation
of term limits to 12 years; and a non-binding "none of the above" provision.
It also lowers the legislative two-thirds rule for budget approval to 55%.
Also, it requires parties to let independents vote in their primaries, and
prohibits campaign consultants and lobbyists from working in the same firm.

Audit trail: on
June 15, the Assembly Elections Committee passed SB 1438. It requires electronic
voting machines to print a paper record of each voterís ballot. The voter
can see this record, but canít take it with him or her. Three county elections
officials bitterly opposed the bill, but they failed to sway a single vote.

AMERICAN
CANDIDATE TV SHOW UNDERWAY

"The American Candidate"
TV show will start broadcasting on August 1. But the process by which the
twelve initial contestants will be whittled down to two is already underway.

Four of the seven remaining
contestants are either members of a minor party, or are involved with election
reform issues. They are:

Bruce Friedrich:
Green Party member, 34, lives near Norfolk, Virginia, and is an official of
PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Malia Lazu: independent,
27, on the Board of the Center for Voting and Democracy. She lives in Takoma
Park, Maryland. She formerly lived in Boston, where she founded Boston Vote.

Richard Mack:
Libertarian, 51, of Provo, Utah. He was sheriff of Graham County, Arizona,
and was the Libertarian candidate for Governor of Utah this year. However,
he dropped out in order to appear on the show.

Joyce Riley: Libertarian,
55, radio talk show host in Versailles, Missouri, but until recently lived
in Arkansas City, Kansas.

Also, one Republican
(Park Gillespie) and two Democrats (Keith Boykin and Lisa Witter) are running.

The original twelve contestantsí
first duty was to organize a campaign rally in a place of their own choosing.
They could only spend $100 and had only a few hours to plan the rally. The
contestants with the fewest attendees were dropped.

Then, each of the eight
survivors joined a bus tour. They were not told where they were going. But
when they got to the destination, they appeared jointly. Each appealed to
as many individuals as possible to telephone a particular phone number. At
each stage, those with the fewest incoming phone calls from that one particular
state are dropped. The first joint appearance was Keene, New Hampshire, on
June 12. The second was Allentown, Pennsylvania; then Charlottesville, Virginia.

LAWSUIT
NEWS

Alabama: a U.S.
Senate candidate who was excluded from the June 1 Democratic primary this
year has filed a lawsuit in federal court to require a new primary, this time
with his name on the ballot. The Democratic Party excluded him from this yearís
primary because, two years ago, he tried to be an independent candidate. Swanson
v Democratic Party, 2:04-cv-534, middle dist.

California: the
hearing in Terry Baumís lawsuit to gain a place on the ballot has been postponed
to July 15. Baum is the Green Party nominee for U.S. House in San Francisco.

Colorado: on June
7, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the Republican appeal of a redistricting
decision from the State Supreme Court. The State Supreme Court had ruled that
the Colorado constitution does not permit redistricting more than once per
decade. In the U.S. Supreme Court, the case was General Assembly v Salazar,
03-1082.

Dist. of Columbia:
on June 4, the D.C. Court of Appeals ordered the government to count write-in
votes in the Green Partyís presidential primary. Best v D.C.Bd of Elections,
04-AA-45. D.C. has a law excusing the Board from counting write-in votes
if the vote-counting computer says the total number of write-ins is less than
the winnerís vote total. But in this case, 31% of the voters cast a write-in,
more than enough to potentially entitle the recipient of the write-in votes
to some delegates to the partyís national convention.

Guam: on June
10, a Superior Court ruled that Guamís blanket primary is unconstitutional,
even though no political party complained about that primary. The Attorney
General of Guam brought the lawsuit. A.G. v Guam Election Commission,
03-345.On June 16 the legislature changed the primary to an open primary.

Oklahoma: a hearing
was held in Libertarian Political Organization v Clingman, 2004-2949,
on June 25. The issue is whether the stateís 5% petition requirement for new
parties violates the State Constitution.

Kansas: a state
court is adjudicating an internal dispute in the Republican Party, over whether
the party desires to invite independents into its primary or not. The partyís
state chair approved the idea, but the state central committee did not. The
Secretary of State believes that the state chair has the authority to set
policy, so now the partyís other officers are suing the Secretary of State.
Estes v Thornburgh, Shawnee Co. 04-c-813.

Ohio: on June
14, an independent candidate for U.S. House filed a lawsuit in federal court
in Cincinnati, alleging that the March 1 petition deadline for independent
candidates (for office other than president) is too early. Lawrence v Blackwell,
1:04-cv-398.

Pennsylvania:
the U.S. Supreme Court still hasnít said whether it will hear Zulick v
Wise, 03-1300, the case on whether a state can enforce a "sore loser"
law only against minor party nominees, but not against major party nominees.

Washington: on
June 10, the State Supreme Court ruled that the state should hold an open
primary this year, to replace the old blanket primary. Washington State
Grange v Locke, 75384-9.

Washington (2):
on May 24, the state asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a ruling of
the 9th circuit that said the Voting Rights Act can be used to
overturn a state ban on felons registering to vote, if the evidence shows
that the stateís criminal justice policies are racially discriminatory. Locke
v Farrakhan, 03-1597.

LEGISLATIVE
NEWS

Alaska: as expected,
HB 414 became law on June 5. The Governor did not sign it, but he let it become
law without his signature. Starting in 2006, it makes it more difficult for
minor parties to remain on the ballot. The new law is almost certainly unconstitutional,
since a judge issued an injunction against the old law last year.

Hawaii: HB1521,
which would repeal the law that petition signers must put their Social Security
number on petitions, failed to pass.

Delaware: on June
17, the Senate passed SB 252, which makes it easier for minor parties to qualify
for the ballot. Parties qualify for the ballot by registering voters equal
to one-twentieth of 1% of the state registration. The bill doesnít change
that. But under existing law, no one can change parties between April and
November of even-numbered years. The bill would eliminate this restriction.

Illinois: the
regular session of the legislature adjourned without having passed SB2123,
to ease the deadline for President Bush to be put on the ballot. But it may
pass in a special session, probably in July.

Maine: the Governor
signed LD212 into law on April 1. It requires the Secretary of State to study
Instant-Runoff Voting by January 2005.

West Virginia:
the Governor signed SB 190 into law on February 3. It lowers the filing fee
for presidential candidates from $4,000 to $2,500.

The sub-title is "Third-Party
Politics from the Nationís Founding to the Rise and Fall of the Greenback-Labor
Party." Although there have been many histories of U.S. minor political parties,
there has never been a general book on this subject that goes into such detail.
Others is only the first in a series of four books, each covering a
different segment of time. The other volumes arenít out yet.

On 350 occasions before
1889, a minor party nominee was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
This does not include independents elected to the House, nor does it include
winners who were classed as "independent Democrats" or "independent Republicans".
Others covers U.S. history from the beginnings of the nation, through
1889. The book is jam-packed with stories about many of these individuals,
as well as the individuals who ran for president, and the U.S. Senate, and
for state and local office, on minor party tickets. The richness of minor
party history is the U.S. in the 19th century is brought to life
by Others.

The book includes a great
deal of political history for the major parties as well. It contains hundreds
of mini-biographies of the people who propelled 19th century political
parties.

The period covered by
Others coincides with the period in U.S. history when there were no
ballot access laws. One hopes that judges, legislators, and pundits will read
Others, to gain an understanding of how the United States party system
thrived in an atmosphere of no legal discrimination for or against any parties.

The personal accounts
of so many of the featured characters will easily hold the interest of anyone
who is interested in U.S. political history. Othershas a 25-page index, so it is useful as a reference book. But it is fundamentally
a storybook, not a book of statistics, charts or graphs.

The Candidateís Handbook
is a terse, clear manual of how to run an effective election campaign.
It is especially useful for anyone seeking local office. Since it was written
by Californians, it tends to be somewhat more relevant to elections in that
state than in other states. To order, see www.candidateshandbook.com.

LIBERTARIANS
NOMINATE BADNARIK

On May 30, the Libertarian
Party national convention nominated Michael Badnarik of Texas for president,
and Richard Campagna of Iowa for vice-president.

C-SPAN broadcast the
final candidate debate live on May 29, and the roll-call vote on May 30. The
outcome for president was a surprise to most observers. Although Badnarik
had been one of three candidates who had visited Libertarian state conventions
all year (and many conventions last year as well), most Libertarians as well
as others expected Gary Nolan or Aaron Russo to receive the nomination. However,
Badnarik did very well in the final debate. When he placed second in each
of the first two votes, third-place finish Nolan dropped out and endorsed
Badnarik. See page five; for the state-by-state tallies.

Badnarik, 49, is a computer
programmer and also conducts his own classes on the U.S. constitution. He
had run twice before as a Libertarian candidate, each time for the Texas legislature.
Neither Nolan nor Russo had ever run for office as a Libertarian, although
Russo had run as a Republican for Governor of Nevada in 1998.

WORKERS
WORLD NOMINATES

On May 23, the Workers
World Party national committee chose John Parker of Los Angeles for president,
and Teresa Gutierrez of New York city for vice-president. This is the first
time since 1988 that the Workers World Party has nominated a male for president.

NADER
PICKS V-P, GETS MATCHING $$

On June 21, Ralph Nader
announced that his vice-presidential candidate will be Peter Camejo. Camejo,
64, of Folsom, California, was the Green Party nominee for Governor of California
in 2002, when he polled 5.3%. In other news, on May 28 the Federal Election
Commission announced that Nader had qualified for primary season matching
funds. He received an initial check for $100,000.

SOCIALIST
WORKERS NOMINATES

On June 12, at its national
meeting in Oberlin, Ohio, the Socialist Workers Party nominated Roger Calero
for president and Arrin Hawkins for vice-president.

INDEPENDENCE
PARTY

On June 6, the New York
Independence Party state convention unanimously endorsed U.S. Senator Charles
Schumer for re-election. The vote guarantees that Schumer, a Democrat, will
also receive the Independence Party nomination.

The irony of Schumerís
uncontested nomination is that the Independence Party wonít be holding a statewide
primary this year for any office. Thus, the partyís much-heralded rule change
last year, permitting registered independents to vote in its primary (for
statewide office only), will have no effect this year.

GREEN
PARTY

C-SPAN will broadcast
the Green Partyís presidential vote selection process on June 26. The party
is considered likely to nominate David Cobb, nominate Ralph Nader, or make
no nomination. If the party makes no national nomination, the various state
parties may or may not make their own presidential choices. Approximately
one-third of the delegates are pledged to Cobb; a majority of the remainder
are uncommitted. The convention is in Milwaukee.

Ralph Nader will not
attend the convention. He will be in Portland, Oregon, speaking to a meeting
of supporters. If 1,000 registered Oregon voters attend that meeting, he will
be placed on the Oregon ballot as an independent.
